2. INSTALLATION This section describes the functionalities of the Fast Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing. 2.1 Product Description The PLANET Fast Ethernet Switch is 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with 16/24 ports respectively, and non-blocking wire-speed performance. With a 3.2/4.8Gbps internal switching fabric, the Fast Ethernet Switch can handle extreme

The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime. 2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Fast

2.2.2 Rack Mounting To install the Fast Ethernet Switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below. Step 1: Place your Fast Ethernet Switch on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side. Step 2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied screws attached to the package. Figure 2-4 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the Fast Ethernet Switch. Figure 2-4 Attaching the brackets to the Fast Ethernet Swi

Caution: You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty. Step 3: Secure the brackets tightly. Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side. Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the Fast Ethernet Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-5.

3. SWITCH OPERATION 3.1 Address Table The Fast Ethernet Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Fast Ethernet Switch. 3.2 Learning When one packet comes in from any port, the Fast Ethernet Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related information in addr

3.4 Store-and-Forward Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and Forward Fast Ethernet Switch stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability. The Fast Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the pack

4. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Fast Ethernet Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The per port LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection of the Fast Ethernet Switch. Performance is bad Solution: Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The Fast Ethernet Switch is run at Auto-negotiation mode and if the partner is set to half duplex, then

APPENDIX A NETWORKING CONNECTION A.1 Switch‘s RJ-45 Pin Assignments 10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX When connecting your 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/ connector and their pin assignments: RJ
